Accompanied by a professional engineer they shuttled trains on the 15 mile line, guiding coal into the engine and posing for photos as the timetable was ignored.

Destroyers’ Role in Anti-Submarine Defense
Destroyers, fast 35 knot ships of 1000 to 1500 tons, protect battle fleets by pursuing and destroying torpedo boats and submarines. They carry medium guns, torpedo tubes, depth charges, and ram-optimized designs, serving as anti-submarine and anti-aircraft screens to shield large vessels. Their effectiveness helped keep battleships from submarine torpedoes in World War I. Recent Nazi U boat activity in the English Channel underscores their vital duties.
